Support group in Lima, OH area for Women

I am on day two of NC - which has been very tough and an emotional journey for me. My emotions have been on this Roller Coaster and I can't get xAP out of my head. I want to scream and yell at him one second, and then the next second I want to go find him in order to wrap my arms around him and say sorry and plead that we find a way to get our relationship to work. Ugh!! I hate what I am going through and have no one to talk to about it. I don't want to say anything to my friends and question whether or not a counselor would truly help. What I really want is a support system close by that I can lean on when I get into an emotional rut and talk to someone that has gone through this. I'm lost, hurt, upset, frustrated, and more and just want to send an email, text or something to xAP but know I can't.

So, I was wandering if there are any females on this board from the Lima, OH area willing to start a local support group so we can lean on each other when we need help, guidance or support.

You have to keep hanging on to the absolute truth that you cannot make the relationship work because it can never work. Affairs are dishonest, sneaky, hurtful relationships. They just don't work.

Lost,
I too felt the need to find a support group. I even attended an AA meeting, even though I'm not much of a drinker, just so that I could listen to people with addiction problems to see how they cope. It actually really helped me a lot. My goodness, if you think it's hard to give up an A, listen to people who are trying to give up alcohol, a do or die situation.
Remember, you can talk to all of us here. My emotions were extremely raw those first few weeks. If you can just be strong with NC the fog will soon clear and the words of the women here will resonate with you. Continue reading everyday.
If you need a more private forum, many of the ladies share their emails with one another. I am willing to do that with you as well.
I hope your day gets better.

Love, AAI
